Reaction Steps

50 μl of the 4-UMO buffer solution and 25 μl of distilled water (or sample solution) were placed in a 96-well microplate and mixed at 25° C., followed by adding 25 μl of the lipase buffer solution to start enzyme reaction. After 30 minutes of reaction, 100 μl of 0.1M citric acid buffer (pH 4.2) was added to terminate the reaction, and the fluorescence of 4-methylumbelliferone (excitation wavelength: 355 nm, fluorescence wavelength: 460 nm) produced by the reaction was measured with a fluorescence plate reader (Labsystems, Fluoroskan Asent CF).
